I'm not saying the ol wasn't holding at all, there's holding on practically every play. BUT Isaiah Prince didn't even bother to try blocking charlton, how can you hold when you don't engage with your arms

I know it's only the 3rd year, but there has yet to be a 2 loss team added to the playoff field. I know the committee doesn't base anything on precedent, but when you're dealing with humans, there's going to be subjective behavior and there's going to be precedent. I don't see how Penn State sneaks in, unless they just barely jump Washington

I mean the cubs are historic because they hadn't won in a century but they were the best team on paper at the beginning of the season. That's not defying the odds, that's doing the difficult think you were expected to do

I would argue that class strength is better measured by comparing to other schools' recruiting classes rather than by looking at the number of 5 stars. Alabama has had the number 1 class for most of the last decade, which is why they're practically a dynasty. If your coach is good and you recruit better than your peers, you're gonna win

Yeah and those 2 and 3 stars got completely outclassed by a team of 4 and 5 stars. I'm not saying star average directly predicts success but it gives you more room for coaching error if your athletes are elite.
